What's It About?
SEIS MINUTOS is the Spanish-language version of the Six Minutes adventure-mystery podcast. Holiday, an 11 year-old girl is pulled, unconscious, from the freezing Alaskan waters by the Anders family while they're out on a whale-watching trip. When Holiday awakens, she has no memory except for her name. The Anders parents tell her she's their daughter, though she's soon told by a mysterious boy that her real family is looking for her. A year goes by and Holiday and the Anders children's curiosity and desire to get to the bottom of things drives them toward the truth. Holiday and Cyrus Anders' mission to find out the truth leads them into many perilous adventures.
Is It Any Good?
This gripping, adventure mystery series will captivate kids and parents alike with its intriguing story, quality voice acting, and its etherial music and sound effects. Seis Minutos is entertaining and exciting, with kid characters who are realistic and accessible, speaking and acting with natural language and rhythm. The amazing sound production and quality make listeners feel like they're are right there in the middle of the action. As the title suggests, each episode is around six minutes and leaves listeners on a cliffhanger and always wanting more. With its fast-paced, action-filled, bite-sized episodes, Seis Minutos doesn't disappoint.
